Catheter timing after prostate laser surgery for urinary problems
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how long patients should keep a urinary catheter (a tube that drains urine) after having laser surgery to remove prostate tissue. Researchers want to understand what timing works best for patients who couldn't urinate before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need prostate laser surgery (HoLEP, ThuLEP, or ThuFLEP)
- You had a urinary catheter before surgery because you couldn't urinate
- You don't have neurogenic bladder (nerve damage affecting bladder control)
- You don't have prostate cancer

This study looks at whether the amount of prostate tissue removed during a laser procedure called HoLEP can predict how much your urinary symptoms improve. It may help doctors better plan and personalize treatment for enlarged prostate.
This study compares two laser surgery methods to treat an enlarged prostate. It aims to see which one better preserves urinary control and sexual function while reducing the chance of a narrowed urethra.
This study looks at whether taking dutasteride for at least 6 months before prostate laser surgery affects surgery results and recovery. It includes men having a specific type of prostate surgery called HoLEP.
This study compares three different laser techniques used to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. The goal is to find which laser is safest and most effective, potentially leading to better symptom relief and shorter recovery.
This study looks at how well a specific laser surgery (HoLEP) works for men with an enlarged prostate, and what factors might predict a successful outcome. If you are considering surgery for an enlarged prostate, this trial may help doctors understand who benefits most.
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
